    Nitrogen cycle. No nitrates

    Sounds like your basic cycle is ready to go. With live sand, cooked rocks and Fritz turbo I was clear of the Nitrogen Cycle in in a few days. I did have higher detectable Nitrates then 10 though. Maybe your test kit is bad. You should have a better one anyways. Looks like most people like...

    Just found sand in the seal of my RSR250...

    This should actually be stronger. The forces on that seam are pushing out, not down. Your silicone and most silicone failures occur at the bond between the silicone and glass as an adhesion failure, vs the silicone itself ripping. The more surface area you have bonded for the seam, the...

    60 Gal Cube Restart

    I know. My rock work has a few distinct homes for that reason. Hard to see them in photos. Was a requirement of the "she gets to pick fish too!" and her favorite color is pink/purple so... :rolleyes: Really only going captive fish as I'm not a fish collector and want to help breeders because...

    60 Gal Cube Restart

    Getting a new sump. The one I received has some issues. Top was not properly welded together so top brace failed in some areas. Separated before seeing water. Tank also came with used "bulkheads" so it was suspect when I got it. Vendor replaced bulkheads with the wrong size at first, but I...

    Ryan’s 40G first reef

    AFR is a 1 part, different than 2 part. You can't mix 2 part into 1 part as it will participate into white sludge, so AFR has all the different chemicals bound in other forms that won't precipitate when together in a bottle. When added to your tank AFR gets broken apart and reassembled like...

    Think it depends on plastic types and copper. I have dosed a tank with nothing in it other than plastics and glass. Watched my copper level drop while it absorbed, so something absorbed it. Maybe the ABS pipe. Cant say. Never tested for leeching though. Missed the tank transfer and copper...

    How to get rid of GHA in between zoas?

    Watch out saying 30% peroxide, 70% water. You can get peroxide in many concentrations, with 3% being the common version at Walgreens, etc. but I have bottles of 37%, 60% and maybe others. you can dilute 3% in half to 1.5% and dip between a 1 and 2 minutes. Doesn’t take much. Zoas might stay...

    i Would have treated flukes first since you suspected those. You can treat for flunkes during the transfers. Just add the prazi on the last day of one transfer and then the last day of a transfer that is 6 days later from first treatment. Only need prazi in water for 24 hours or so and they...

    Free glasses

    Since it says "Safety Glass" then you will need to assume it is tempered - so no cutting/drilling. It could be laminated, but that is not a DIY cutting job either. free for a reason.

    COPEPOD CULTURE FOR MANDARIN DRAGONET

    Did you not have anything else living in the tank like a macro Algea, live rock etc? I can see any living drop of water as bringing in a hydroid, but a dried out brine shrimp egg? The seas horse itself seams like a more likely vector of transmission. Now feeding bbs will make your hydroid...

    COPEPOD CULTURE FOR MANDARIN DRAGONET

    Would love to know how a hydroid could survive that way. Eggs are dry and in freezer. Pretty sure that someone who had hydroids fed bbs and the BBS exploded the population with all the food and not vise versa. Don’t know what part of a hydroid life cycle could survive brine shrimp egg retail chain.
